I once declared not to create blog entries anymore. However, I can’t help it to thank people, to celebrate life and to write my beautiful experiences this year.
My last blog was dated September 30, 2005. I had mixture of feelings that month. Both the "shit" and "wow" expressions came out. It was the "shit" that prompted me not to make blog entries anymore. Today, it is the "wow" that prompts me to continue writing.
Things may not be they seem to be. I observed the trend of my lifestory. Why is it that it is in the month of September that I reach the point saying, "I have been good. Why is this happening to me"? or "Why is it that I am too much of a good person?" Sometimes I’d like to resort to being bitchy, really really bitchy. Yes, to be too good always is not helpful. As what my other advocates say, "If you’re using your head, forget your emotions. If you want to relax and sigh, indulge in your emotions. If you’re drowned with your emotions, go back to your head". I want to be skillful in balancing these two. Why? Because I know it is enjoyable. Why enjoyable? Because I feel I know many without other people knowing that I know. (Magulo ba? hehehe).
We all are familiar of the cliche "Been there, done that". But why is it when a similar situation happens, we still fall in that trap? We still do the same thing the next time? Will there be a new cliche "Been there, done that, I’ll do it again"? Same cycle right? Sana the motive is something positive to self-being. I tried. I am trying. But why is it there some kind of force that is pulling me negatively.
Similar situations…….yes similar not the same. Similar because the subjects and objects are now different and new. But what’s the same are the weaknesses, strengths, skills and emotions involved.
Is this a sign to make me immune so that the next I fall, I am like iron-clad ready for the next battle?……already very skillful and a master? I know that in life’s game and battle, we have to suppress emotions sometimes. Yes I believe in that. I agree with that (by experience). Although I am not a warrior (literally), I am happy to say that I endured.
But HUMAN as I am, I also fall and feel weak.
On the brighter side of me, I would like to thank the people who helped me behind the scenes; people that I have just met in a short while but their friendship still lingers; people I have yet to meet or meet again.
I am happy to know friends being successful, people getting married, my mom being happy of my xmas presents, cousins missing me, friends waiting for me to come, couples having their newly-born babies, families that I have met, friends running to me to confide (it’s an honor because they trust me), strangers willing to offer help, etcetera etcetera.
Again, I am spending christmas and new year here in Makati. Got a new condo unit, new blanket, new pillow, new address…….I look forward to the first week of January 2006. I am very very excited because it will be my turn to have a vacation. I will be going to Boracay! Oooh I luv the white sandy beaches! I hope I can drop by Cebu and Bohol. Yan ang trend ko, lagi akong wala sa office first quarter of the year. I love going back and forth to Mindanao and Visayas. Yes as in MINDANAO! Well….. hunt me there. Hehehe. Scared? You have to be brave enough if you want to go there. Yari ka kung dka marunong magbisaya. Hehehe. It’s good to travel to south, I tell you. Not to mention the serenity of the places and the beautiful faces of warm (but brave) people……Travel if you want to expand your horizon (not only reading does!) This year, I was so blessed that I travelled to Europe. I hope I can complete my checklist of visiting the central business districts of the world. I dream to see London Stock Exchange (LSE), New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKSE), Korea Stock Exchange (KSE) and many more! Hope to travel more in Asia.
That’s all for this year end….I still have to go to North Luzon :) To close, here is something we can do to achieve world peace :o) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my friendsters!
HOW CAN WE ACHIEVE WORLD PEACE?
"World Peace starts with countries at peace.
Countries start with states at peace.
States start with cities.
Cities start with communities.
Communities start with families.
Families start with love.
Love starts with friendship.
Friendship starts with a SMILE.
So all you’ve got to do is SMILE."
